On the same date that all eyes are on Prince William making "commoner" Kate royal, a few might recall that this was also the day in 1945 that Adolf Hitler made Eva Braun an honest woman.

Yep, the young British couple tied the knot today in front of millions on the anniversary of the day Hitler quietly wed his kept fräulein in der below-ground Führerbunker. Mr. Hitler proceeded to shoot himself the next day, while his young bride took cyanide. Talk about giving love a bad name.

Obviously the British lovebirds are not superstitious. Nor or they dissuaded by the fact that Burt (The Bandit) Reynolds married Loni (The Blonde) Anderson on this day in 1988 only to divorce in an ugly one five years later.

In spite of the bad matrimonial juju associated with today's date, we wish the couple well. And we suggest that no one going to the reception mention this--or Emilio Estevez and Paula Abdul's little April 29, 1992 error in judgment--on this, their luckiest of days.
